How to reach us
Every tract is evaluated individually. Acreage, timber condition, access, location, and sale feasibility determine whether a timber sale is a good fit. Call us, send a note, or stop by — we'll talk through your goals and the property location, and the initial property review generally begins online. On-site work is typically scheduled after a forestry services agreement is in place.

Mississippi & western Alabama landowners
Southeast Forestlands is based in Meridian, MS and represents landowners across both states. Every engagement starts with a conversation about what you actually want the land to do over the next five, ten, and twenty years. Our initial property review generally begins online, using available aerial imagery, maps, and parcel information. Eric Entrekin brings more than 30 years of photogrammetry and aerial-image interpretation experience to this planning process. On-site inspections are typically scheduled after a forestry services agreement is in place.
Coverage runs from the east-central Mississippi Pine Belt and Black Belt across the central, southwest, and northeast counties, then east into western Alabama from Lauderdale and Pickens down through Sumter, Marengo, Clarke, and Mobile counties. Full county lists live on the Mississippi coverage and Alabama coverage pages.

Quick answers
- How fast do you respond?
- Calls and messages are accepted anytime. Live calls are answered when available, and voicemails and form submissions are returned as soon as Eric can get to them. Urgent storm-damage and trespass situations get priority — say so when you call.
- Do you charge for the first conversation?
- No. The initial call or email is free. On-site work is quoted and agreed before it is scheduled, typically under a forestry services agreement. See the full FAQ for fee structures by service.
- What information should I have ready when I call?
- County, approximate acreage, a rough sense of the stand (planted pine, natural hardwood, cutover), and what triggered the call — a buyer's offer, a storm, a closing, an estate, or general planning. Maps, deeds, and prior management plans help but are not required.
- Do you represent buyers or mills?
- No. Southeast Forestlands works for landowners only. We do not buy timber, broker logs, or take commissions from buyers or mills.
